We've updated our wiki! It's now identical to the reddit wiki. Both probably need more info and updating but, this is significantly better than before!

Here's some that I use:

BPlant for finding your ecoregion in the North American continent:
https://bplant.org/regions.php

Chesapeake Bay Watershed (DC, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia) Native Plant Finder:
https://www.allianceforthebay.org/native-plant-center/

Native ground covers for the North American Eastern Temperate Forests:
https://choosenatives.org/articles/plant-native-ground-covers-make-america-green/

Information on creating soft landings under trees for pollinators:
https://www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com/uploads/1/3/9/1/13913231/softlandingskeystonehandout.pdf

These two blog posts (also Eastern Temperate Forests) are probably a looser fit for the wiki, but I'll share them here anyway. The first discusses why not to be afraid of "aggressive" plants and how to start experimenting. The second has a list of 20 ground covers:

Thanks for bringing this back to my mind. My landlord is looking to do something with the "lawn" and I would rather plant native grasses since we are in a dry climate. Neither one of us wants to water or mow. I have been looking at things but maybe here I can bounce some ideas off folks who live in a similar climate.

If you find any good resources, let me know and I'll add them to the wiki! Good luck
